“Murder” Search On Google Returns Abortion Result
As a women’s right to choose advocate I believe a female has the right to do with her body what she chooses, that’s why today’s Google Search result irked me. While no longer displaying, for a short time today typing in the word “Murder” would return the Wikipedia page result for “Abortion” as the second link on the front page of Google search results.
The abortion as murder result quickly trended on Reddit where users were quick to point out that it was more than likely a Google-bombing incident in which many users took the opportunity to create the result out of thin air, but it’s still a disturbing result that shouldn’t have existed in the first place.
Our favorite “mistake” on the search engine still came when people would type “White people stole my car” and the search engine would return “did you mean: Black people stole my car.” Even computers can be racist these days.
At this time no specific anti-abortion group has taken credit for the results page, however the term is no longer appearing under “Murder.”
Without getting all preachy (this isn’t a post about whether it’s right or wrong) what do you think about the result? My bets are on a group of anti-abortion activists working together to create the results we see in the photo at the top of this post.

It is not their body they're choosing over, it's someone else's body, and they have no right to act or kill an inoscent just because they decided to not be careful enough to take care. If you're going to use the "rape" arguement, please, consider it as another topic. It is pretty different getting pregnant for rape than for being drunk (in hormones, at least).

The truth hurts. Abortion is murder.
Oct 13, 2011
Child abuse hurts and can lead to murder too, so get a clue my body, my choice. Unless you all right to lifers want to take in every unwanted child, please STFU!
Oct 18, 2011
why don't we ask the foetus what it thinks? oh yeah… they can't communicate because they are a cluster of cells… just like cancer is. I hope all you ignorant right to lifers are vegetarian because meat is murder too and if you don't believe that you're a bible bashing hypocrite
Oct 18, 2011
Yes, why don't we ask a just born child what they think? That's right, because they can't communicate because they don't know how to speak yet. Not knowing a language makes them less worth living? Hell, by your logic, I shall eliminate all life on the planet that don't speak Spanish, English or Russian, you know, because I can't understand anything else, they don't deserve to live, Right?
Speaking of vegetarianism: what I am is a HUMANITARIAN, oh, wait… do I read HUMAN there? Oh my! Two very different things to kill for pleasure and kill for food. I NEED to eat meat, I am an omnivore; I don't need to get drunk and knock off 3 girls and call them to have an abortion, I am not a murderer. Murdering someone in society is forbidden because you're a danger to other humans. Killing an animal for fun is forbidden because you may be a danger to other humans. Don't you see? Human life is revolved around human life, we are animals, we are a species trying to live as long as we can in this planet, just like every other animal on earth. Ask a biologist, as an anthropologist, ask a psychologist, let them judge me if you have nothing else to say that I'm a hypocrite.
Oh, and comparing a foetus with cancer demonstrates that your knowledge in medicine is nil. You know what a sperm is? A baby doesn't grow out of nowhere. The first of MANY differences.
If you can do me a favour, please, count how many times I cited the Holy Bible.

I find it odd….In America we can kill babies, but, we can't smoke weed or play online poker. Just something to think about.
Nov 10, 2011
Wait…did you really just say this??? There are THOUSANDS of couples out there looking for babies, yes, I'm sure we could PLACE EVERY unwanted child. That may have been the most stupid pro choice statement EVER!!
Nov 10, 2011
Yasoda Gonzalez Wow, a baby is a cancer now?? Wow, can someone take her to a hospital so that they can rip your reproductive organs out NOW?? I don't wanna read about how you thought you had to crap and you let a baby drown in a toilet someday.
Dec 8, 2011
Yasoda Gonzalez Why do say cluster of cells? So what? You are just a cluster of cells, right? By the time most women realize they are pregnant, their baby has a heart beat and is beginning to resemble a person already. Go ahead and murder it if you want, it is legal, but don't pretend it isn't a person, because it is. THat is the thing that bothers me most about pro-choicers. Have a little courage and admit, yes, I'm killing another person because I don't want to be pregnant or be a parent. End of story.

If abortion is to be defined as the illegal killing of a human being, then technically abortion is not murder. And neither were the genocides that took place in Germany during WW2, as those killings were sanctioned by the ruling government at the time and therefore not murder (Using Godwin's Law is acceptable when comparing one group of homicidal maniacs to another group of homicidal maniacs). Obviously, whether something is legal or not has little bearing on whether or not it is morally acceptable. From a legal standpoint, abortion and murder are not the same thing, but from a moral standpoint, they are the same.
The wikipedia result came up most likely because the word "murder" appears on the abortion wikipedia article, in the following partial sentence:
the Catholic Church had previously been divided on whether if believed that abortion was murder.
I don't think Google has officially taken any standpoint one way or the other on this issue.
Further to that, Googling the sentence "white people stole my car" never returned the correction "black people stole my car". That was a hoax.

Chris Paulbot Willis call it what it is: pro-abortion, not pro-choice.
Mar 16, 2012
Chris Paulbot Willis — There are THOUSANDS of children looking for homes, right now. Not babies, children. Unwanted. Right now. Foster homes are overflowing. Why would you want to add to that?
Mar 16, 2012
Emily Thayer abortion is legal today. Those children weren't unwanted for the 9 months they were in the womb. How does keeping abortion legal help those young people? Look, I really don't care one way or the other, but don't use this stupid excuse of babies not being wanted.
Mar 16, 2012
Any time you find a dead baby, you call the police, dude. If it's a embryo or fetus, it's not the same thing as a neonate. That's biology. BTW I'm all for getting rid of "sin" laws.
Mar 16, 2012
Emily Thayer say whatever you have to say to make killing a baby ok to you.
Mar 16, 2012
Chris Paulbot Willis You don't know whether they were unwanted or not. Women may not have access to abortions, may not be able to travel to a provider, may not be able to afford them, or may be pressured into carrying a baby by "friends" and family. But the children sure as hell don't have homes now. Until you're a parent, I don't think you know what the hell you're talking about. And if you ARE a parent, are you an adoptive parent? If not, why not?
Mar 16, 2012
Actually, it's much more accurate to call an embryo or fetus a parasite, than cancer. B/c that's what it is.
Mar 16, 2012
…and you do realize that birth control isn't 100% effective, right? " just because they decided to not be careful enough to take care." — My fourth child was conceived WHILE USING BIRTH CONTROL. You can be as careful as you want, but there will still be unplanned pregnancies. I don't think it's fair to slam someone needing to end a pregnancy as not careful — you don't have a clue about what kind of birth control someone was, or was not using. Condoms are about 80% effective. Spermicide even less so. That means there's a 20% failure rate! One out of five women that are trying not to get pregnant… will anyway, if condoms are the only form of birth control used.
Mar 16, 2012
Emily Thayer You're right, tell that to your fourth child how he was unplanned and that you support the fact of mothers killing their embryos, that means you actually could have killed him. Protection is much more than a condom, I'm sorry, but if you didn't wanted any more children, a simple surgery would've been enough. Yes, unexpected pregnancies ocurr, but that still isn't the embryos fault.
And another thing… a parasite? really? A persons physiology and anatomy doesn't ever changes to support the parasite's life, it attacks it, unlike pregnancy. You either didn't pay much attention in biology or your teacher wasn't a very good teacher.
Mar 16, 2012
Emily Thayer I am an adoptive parent and I know many who are also. Kids who are in foster care are often not available for adoption because their psycho/druggie parents won't terminate parental rights. Or they can't be found for the legal amount of time (it varies by state) for the adoption to take place. Social services prioritizes that kids be reunited with their birth families, not be adopted out. That's why the "foster homes are overflowing." Get your facts straight.
Mar 16, 2012
I asked for the surgery, and wasn't given it b/c the dr's office screwed up the paperwork. Dr. also tried hard to dissuade me. Yes, my fourth child knows she was unplanned. She's fine with it; I phrase it as she was a "surprise." I love her dearly, and she knows that, but she also knows that I was upset and cried when I found out I was pregnant. I DO support women killing embryos, if they're not ready to be mothers. I considered abortion. If my husband hadn't wanted more children, I would have aborted her. There is/was NO WAY I could handle raising four kids on my own. I would have fallen apart and had my kids taken away. Putting more children in that foster system.
Yes, a parasite. It lives off the host. Do you know what toxemia is? It's a reaction to the foreign proteins of the fetus entering the mother's blood stream. Do you know what Rh disease is? A reaction to the foreign proteins of the fetus. A fetus IS a parasite.
Mar 16, 2012
Thank you Patricia for chiming in. Per abortion, unwanted children and facts, how about Romania? Do you know what happened when abortion was outlawed there? Look it up. That's the world you're arguing for.
I still think that unless you're willing to adopt or foster a child, one shouldn't be stumping for women to be pumping out more babies than they can personally take care of. Patricia, you've earned your right to be anti-abortion.
Mar 16, 2012
I have a Bachelor's in biochemistry from Purdue University. I've got a decent amount of biology under my belt. You?
Mar 16, 2012
Emily Thayer Then you are like a doctor, know a lot about physiology and nothing about nutririon, or, in your case, pregnancy.
Mar 16, 2012
Emily Thayer Did I just heard you say disease? Oh my God, you just called it a disease and you act like you just proved your point. A disease is an abnormality and this means it's not the body isn't functioning correctly, obviously. The body of a woman in deprivation of any deprivation of any physiological need simply aborts the baby because there aren't enough resources to mantain both, somthing that isn't the case with parasites. On the other hand, I still wan't answered why the female human body is actually designed to sustain such "parasite", if it is only a parasite? Why does it's physiology changes to support it?
Mar 16, 2012
Yes, I know nothing. Nothing at all. Learned nothing from having four children, four pregnancies, earning a degree that was pre-med, having both hospital and home births, attending La Leche League meetings since I was born, being friends with midwives, doulas, labor/delivery nurses and nutritionists, going through nutritional counseling for medical needs and living 44 years on the planet. I don't know anything at all. You got me. I'm just gonna walk away now.
Mar 16, 2012
Emily Thayer Very colourful response, and still, none of my questions were answered. I guess the point of being a scientist is knowing not sharing knowledge, eh?
Mar 16, 2012
Emily Thayer I'm not arguing for outlawing abortion. I'm for making it very difficult and for educating women about its ramifications, for themselves and for society. We have had a holocaust in our generation of abortion–40 million since Roe v Wade. The vast majority, according to the statistics, are minorities. There are organizations for women who call themselves "survivors" of abortion. They are wracked with guilt for the rest of their lives and suffer mental problems because of it–not all, of course, but many. There are so many issues surrounding abortion that most people really haven't read about. Read the Freakonomics chapter about abortion–it's not pleasant but I believe it's unfortunately true. I am painfully aware of the situation in Romania. My adopted son is from Ukraine and I lived in Ukraine for a month when we went there to get him. I researched Eastern European orphanages extensively prior to adopting from there. There's no quick fix for this problem and women really do themselves a disservice by not taking responsibility for their actions *before* having sex. And really, isn't that what being an adult is about?
Mar 16, 2012
Funny, I almost pointed you to the same Freakonomics chapter.
I'm glad to hear you would like women educated. I would too. I don't know about making abortion easy or difficult, I simply would like to preserve the possibility to choose to end a pregnancy for my daughters and sons.
I realized after rereading your post and my reply that you were not specifically taking a position. My apologies for assuming. With that, I really should get back to work, as I have about an hour of productive time left in the day before my kids start coming home from school. It was a pleasure to meet an adoptive parent online; kudos for extending yourself in a meaningful and life affirming way. I genuinely appreciate you, and hope that your children do, as well.
